Lastly for the Eagle Knights updates we have some Vanguard Vets. These are second hand models that I go off eBay for a bargain. The plan is to convert them by switching the heads for skull helms, add jump pack, similar to the Sanguinary guard but without the wings, and add some weapons or shields, depending upon what squad they will be in. The plan is for five with shields and five with pistols, probably plasma pistols or hand flamers.
Full squad
There are some strange tentacle objects on many of the bases, plus many have been given a cobble stone base.
Tentacles and cobble stones
Standard
There is also a standard, although there is no need for this in game. I may have a look at removing it but i will have to look through my bits box to see if I have an alternative arm that I can use.
Shield bearers
Five of the models, the five above, will probably get shields, as their poses lend themselves for shield and spears.
Pistols
The other five will get pistols, probably wrist mounted some how, due to the arm mounting for the shields needing covering up. As mentioned, I'm not sure if they will be all plasma, for some additional elite hitting power or hand flamers for horde control. I have enough plasma pistols but don't think I have many flamers, so they may get plasma pistols simply due to availability.
I got all the shields with these models as well, so if I don't use them all, then I will have some spares for another project.
